A woman and her young daughter remain hospitalized after a hit and run Wednesday afternoon. Police, meanwhile, are still looking for the driver.

The woman, according to family, remains in the ICU at University Hospital and will likely remain there for the next several days. Her 13-year-old daughter, meanwhile, will likely be released from Kosair Thursday morning. The girl had cuts and bruises, family says, but no broken bones.

Family tells WLKY the woman, her daughter, and her 3 nieces had walked across the Big 4 Bridge Wednesday afternoon. They had planned to visit a candy store in downtown Jeffersonville when the woman and her daughter were hit around 1:30 in the afternoon.

It happened at the intersection of Market and Pearl Streets. Case Kuiper had been walking down Market Street and watched as the driver kept going.

"People were screaming, hollering at the vehicle, trying to chase it down," he said.

Moments before the collision, Kuiper had seen what he says was a white, 4-door car, go speeding down Market Street. He watched as the woman was pinned against a telephone pole and her daughter was thrown into the air.

"The screeching of the brakes and then seeing one of the two victims literally flying and tumbling in the air before they hit the street, that's probably the thing I'm never going to forget," he said.

Kuiper, rushed to help, directing traffic away from the area. Mike Wathen also did what he could to help. He had been inside his Market Street home when he heard a loud bang and then screaming. He came to the aid of the young girl, who he says was alert but disoriented.

"I was rubbing her forehead and calling her baby girl, telling her to calm down. Anything I could tell her to reassure her that there's help there and help on the way," Wathen said.

In the area of Market and Pearl Streets there are traffic cameras and thanks to eyewitnesses, Jeffersonville Police did get a detailed description of the vehicle.

Police said the vehicle is a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer and was located a few blocks away. The owner of the Trailblazer identified the driver as a family member, police said, and they are seeking an warrant for his arrest.

The victim's nieces, who had been with her at the time of the collision, were not injured.
